Abstract
- This article seeks to provide an insight into little known numerical methods for deriving meaning from ancient sacred texts to give an understanding of some of the symbolism contained in the wonderful artwork and sculptures of Venetian artist Tobia Rava. The author describes how he used Rava's artwork to inspire a multi-faceted mathematics project. He also describes how the work of Tobia Rava inspired his students to produce their own "mathematical" art work.
